Hey, I know people have already replied, but I had the same problem with
machine -- mine was caused by a corrupt install CD which failed to install
the base system. For some reason the Debian install process seems to go
something like:
- ask for partitions
- write partition table (including new mbr?)
- install
(mine broke here)
- set bootable

Partition magic saved my disk. It costs money though... It's the sort of
thing most Windows folk have, ask around.
